CHRISTMAS CHATS.
sDine OF the Old Ubsery1inces Associated
vVttl, VI,ts I'sstivnY

some OF the Old Ubsery1,nces Associated
with This Festival.
One Christmas observance still COM
mon in Europe-the drawing homo and
burning of the yule log--is traced to
very ancient Scandinavian usage, when,
at the winter solstice huge bonHres were
kindled in honor of the god Thor. The
bringing in Of this great log was the
most enthusiastic part of the ceremonies
observed on Christmas eve in feudal
lines. The Scandinavians drew II with
much pomp and ceremony from its rest
ing place in the woods, holding that Its
1ame would burn out old wrongs, and
from its ashes would spring up brighter
hopes and better performance for the
future. The magical significance was
carried into later days, and an old En-.
glish Christmas was not considered
fairly begun before the yulc log was
ablaze. The new log must always be.
lighted with brand preserved from the
old one. Among other supcrstitions con-
accted with this historic log is one to
the effect that il IL throws out cracking
sparks, family dissension is sure to fol-
low.
Among customs now disused cere-
inony existed ut the court of England
Us late as the reign of Charles H., of
bringing branch of the Glpe' injury
thorn, which usually blossoms OIL, christ
mas Eve. in procession, and presenting
it, with great pomp, to the King and
Queen on Christmas morning.
In connection with the holly which
figures so conspicuously in all our Christ
mas decorations, we find quaint old
conceit chronicled, that every holly
bough and lump of berries with which
you adorn your house is an act of nat
ural piety as well as beauty, and will, in
summer, enable you TO relish that green
world Of which you show yourself not
unworthy. In Germany and Scandi-
navia the holly, or holy tree, is called
"Christ's thorn" from its use in church
decorations, and because it bears its ber-
ries at Christmastide. The loving sen-
timent imprisoned in the holly bough
and translated into every language will
never be more happily expressed than
in Charles Mackay's verses, 81 nder the
Holly Bough":
Or injured friend or brother,
In this fast-fading year;
Ye who by word or deed
Have made u kind heart bleed,
Come, gather herel
let sinned against and SHINING
Forget their strife's beginning,
And Join In friendship now;
Be links no longer broken,
BE sweet forgiveness spoken,
Under the holly bough.

\ story has come to my hearing which
shows how much discrimination may be
worth. \ lady from a neighboring town
came to Boston instead of going TO New
York, as was her habit to do shopping for
her twelve children. She was directed to Il
famous establishment, where the styles and
the prices are always of tine first quality
At first she was very politely treated by the
saleswoman, until she asked for samples of
garments of all ayes, from four to eighteen.
when Immediately she came to be looked
upon with suspicion particularly as the
price seemed to be OF little consequence.
Finally the indifference Of tie saleswoman
grew into rudeneSS, and the lady was aCtu-
ally driven out ot the establishment by the
outrageous manners of the attendant.
This apparently ineNpiCabe hehaviD Dr
was at last traced 10 the fact that the sales
woman had suspected her customer of COM
ing to buy models FOR some provincial es-
tablishmeut, and was unwilling that the
exclusive styles of the famou. Boston house
should be copied. The custom of IA million
aires family where there are twelve chill
dren to be clothed is something which is
worth an effort to secure, but that establish
ment has lost the golden chances.
